Hi Yes, that I've told several users that asked for this, however it will =20= need changes to the AHCI code, and that needs alot of testing to =20 ensure it doesn't break any of the other dozen chipsets etc. Anyhow, I still need hands on the HW to work in a rational way on =20 this, just as its always been. The problem is that the number of professional users/vendors that used =20= to donated HW to keep ATA up to date has more or less dried up over =20 the last 2-3 years... As I dont have the means to buy every possible board out there to get =20= support going, the support will depend on what HW I eventually have =20 access to here in the lab. -S=F8ren On 26May, 2008, at 9:58 , Andrey V.
